Hi - this is probably the wrong forum for this message, but I'm not sure how else to message you. Just wanted to let you know how much I've appreciated your blog. I was sad when I realized (some time ago) that you were no longer blogging. I hope all is wel. Thanks for all your efforts on this blog.
Sincerely,
A fellow Michigander
